Metamorphosis

[Intro]
(We'll do this
"Metamorphosis"
By Sheldon Harnick
The story of the butterfly)

[Chorus]
Pity the poor caterpillar
Who nobody loves
No, not even me

[Verse 1]
He crawls in the middle
Stands still at both ends
Or crawls at both ends
And stands still in the middle

[Verse 2]
He's not very pretty
After you crush him
Hideous goo
That sticks to your shoe

[Verse 3]
We step on his tails
Uh, which one is his head?
Unless he's a worm
In which case they're both his tails

[Chorus]
Pity the poor caterpillar
Who nobody loves
No, not even me

[Verse 4]
But then in the summеr
He's morphed into glory
Glory supremе
Glory supreme

[Chorus]
No longer the poor caterpillar
Who nobody loves
No, not even me

[Verse 5]
For now, he is the king
Of winged insects
A beautiful bug
The king of insects

[Verse 6]
Glorious, glorious
Butterfly
(André, uh, cool it, huh?)
